EAST RUTHERFORD -- Injuries may be the only thing holding Eli Apple back from a big sophomore season with the Giants.

Another brick was thrown on the load Saturday night.

Apple was knocked out of the Giants' 32-31 preseason win over the Jets at MetLife Stadium with an ankle injury. This came after he missed Monday's preseason loss to the Browns in Cleveland due to an ankle injury. It's not a re-aggravation, though; Giants coach Ben McAdoo said he believes Apple injured his other ankle.

"So I have concerns about both ankles," McAdoo said.

I'm not sure (the severity), I'll have to go talk to the trainers and the doctors about it."

Apple missed two games last season due to injury, plus significant portions of two more contests. He was also limited for much of the Giants' offseason program with a hamstring injury, and missed the entire mandatory minicamp with what the team called an illness.

Besides the fact Apple is a starter, his injury is another overall blow to a cornerback group that is becoming increasingly thin by the day. Reserve cornerback Michael Hunter, who has put together a strong preseason, is sidelined with a concussion. Veteran corner Valentino Blake is also not available after leaving the squad for personal reasons last week.

Apple's injury was one of several the Giants suffered during the game:

DT Jay Bromley: Bromley left the game with what the team called a left knee sprain. Bromley has been pushing for the starting tackle job opposite Damon Harrison.

DE Evan Schwan: Schwan was carted off late in the game after suffering a left leg injury that required an air cast. He was booted up after the game.

RB Shaun Draughn: The veteran suffered a concussion and neck injury after a hard sideline hit. The injuries complicate what was already a tough spot for Draughn. He was seeing his first preseason action after spending the bulk of the summer on the PUP list working his way back from ankle surgery in the spring.

OL Adam Gettis: The reserve lineman left the game with a foot injury. He had missed Monday's game as well.

S Duke Ihenacho: The roster longshot injured his knee while trying to make a play on Jets running back Bilal Powell's 85-yard touchdown run.
